EFT clinicians often face unique ethical dilemmas when engaging partners or family members in the therapy process. Navigating this complex and dynamic system requires a thorough understanding of state rules as well as ethical standards. This session will present relevant legal and ethical considerations for EFT clinicians and offer several risk management strategies. Using case scenarios, participants will work in small groups to share their reflections and insights on some of the more common ethical dilemmas often faced by EFT clinicians.
